SKILL TIME
TEACHING SCRIPT FOR INTRODUCING PRONOUN CASES
You have already learned about subject pronouns, possessive pronouns, object pronouns and the jingles
that list them. Let’s recite these pronoun jingles right now. (Lead your students in the pronoun jingles as a
review.) You are going to learn how to use these pronouns correctly. Look at Reference 47 on page 33 for
information about pronoun cases. (Read and discuss the information about the pronoun cases, numbers 1-3, in the
reference box below.)
Reference 47: Subjective, Objective, and Possessive Pronoun Cases
1. The subject pronouns are in the subjective case: I, we, he, she, it, they, and you.
Use subjective case pronouns for subjects or predicate pronouns.
2. The object pronouns are in the objective case: me, us, him, her, it, them, and you.
Use objective case pronouns for objects: object of a preposition, direct object, or indirect object.
3. The possessive pronouns are in the possessive case: my, our, his, her, its, their, your, and mine.
Use possessive case pronouns to show ownership.
y
p
Co
Practice Section: For Sentences 1-4, replace each underlined pronoun by writing the correct form in the first blank
and S or O for subjective or objective case in the second blank.

1. She and me are riding with Tim.

2. Susan will listen to Pam and I.
me
S
O
3. Do you want he and I to leave? him and me
4. Do you prefer they or I. them or me O
O
S
Until it becomes automatic, you must make a determined effort to choose the correct pronoun when you
write or speak. Since the subjective and objective cases are the ones that give us the most trouble, we will
concentrate on them as we practice correct pronoun usage. You must know how and when to use the
subjective and objective pronouns. To give you practice in choosing pronouns according to their case, look
at the practice section provided at the bottom of Reference 47.
You will see two things as we go over this practice: how to recognize correct ways of combining sentences
and how to use pronouns correctly. Look at sentences 1-4. The underlined pronouns in these sentences
are used incorrectly because they are in the wrong case. Let’s look at Sentence 1. Why is the pronoun me
incorrect? (The job of the underlined pronoun should be a subject pronoun. The pronoun me is an object pronoun
and cannot be used as the subject.)
Since we need a subject pronoun here, which subject pronoun would replace the pronoun me in this
sentence? (I) The directions say to write the correct pronoun in the first blank. What is written in the
first blank? (The pronoun I.) The directions also say to write S or O in the second blank to show whether
the pronoun is subjective or objective. Is the pronoun I subjective or objective? (subjective) What is
written in the second blank? (The letter S.) (Work through sentences 2-4 in the same way.)

CHAPTER 16 LESSON 3 CONTINUED
PRACTICE TIME
Do an oral review for pronoun cases by identifying pronouns as subjective, objective, or possessive. As you
say the pronoun, have students tell you the pronoun case. Make this a fun review. Have students follow
your lead. (This review will sound like a cheer.)
I say they,
I say your,
I say him,
I say he,
I say our,
I say us,
I say mine,
I say their,
you say (subjective): they: subjective
you say (possessive): your: possessive
you say (objective): him: objective
you say (subjective): he: subjective
you say (possessive): our: possessive
you say (objective): us: objective
you say (possessive): mine: possessive
you say (possessive): their: possessive
I say me,
I say my,
I say I,
I say its,
I say his,
I say we,
I say them,
I say she,
you say (objective): me: objective
you say (possessive): my: possessive
you say (subjective): I:
subjective
you say (possessive): its: possessive
you say (possessive): his: possessive
you say (subjective): we: subjective
you say (objective): them: objective
you say (subjective): she: subjective
In the next chant, the pronouns will have two possible cases, depending on how they are used in a
sentence. Your response will include the two possible cases.
I say it;
I say you;
I say her;
you say (subjective or objective): it:
subjective or objective
you say (subjective or objective): you: subjective or objective
you say (objective or possessive): her: objective or possessive
